The genre of teachings known as the Stages of the Path (Tibetan: lam-rim) represents a synthesis of the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment as set out in the Mahayana scriptures. Among the many texts in this genre, Lama Tsongkhapa's Middle Length Lam-Rim is a comprehensive and straight forward presentation of the essential instructions that support the progressive stages of meditation and practice leading to the attainment of Buddhahood. Easy to understand and apply in meditation, these teachings establish a foundation and context for daily spiritual practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment is taught in six sequential courses, beginning with Preparing for the Path, which introduces us to the text and the fundamental contemplations that ensure our successful study and practice. Subjects within the introduction include the significance of these teachings and their lineage, the method to study and engage in the text, the need for reliance upon a spiritual teacher, and the way to develop an appreciation for the basis of this human existence and its value.
